I don't believe in ghosts. This annoys them to no end. "Maybe we don't believe in you either," they say. "Maybe you don't exist."
"Maybe," I reply, not looking up from what I'm doing. They hate this.
I've decided to start taking firm stances on the important issues of life. I'm going to examine my ideas and feelings, consider them carefully, argue the pros and cons with myself and then establish a position to which I will hold fast. Once I decide that a position is right, I will defend it and even promote it. I will try to better the world.
Man, that sounds really hard and tedious. It also sounds a little boring. Doesn't it? I mean, seriously, who cares what I think about issues and so forth? I don't. I think, instead, that I will live actively in the moment. I will simply be. Ask me a question and I will respond truthfully with all the conviction of the awareness I can muster in the moment. Ask me again later and I may tell you something very different though equally sincere. I think this better suits me. I will not become, I will simply be. I believe, according to Heisenberg, that not being able to measure my position on an issue should make it feasible to measure my momentum on it. So, you know, there's always that. I have quantum principles.
The ghosts in your life want to believe in you. They secretly wish you well. They ask for nothing in return. They think about you all day, and at night you haunt their dreams. They wait for you to come through the door, though, unlike them, you must open it first.
Hello, friends. How are you today?
Later. Love.
